Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
I am amused when goody-goodies proclaim, from the safety of their armchairs, that children are naturally prejudice-free, that they only learn to "hate" from listening to bigoted adults. Nonsense. Tolerance is a learned trait, like riding a bike or playing the piano. Those of us who actually live among children, who see them in their natural environment, know the truth: Left to their own devices, children will gang up on and abuse anyone who is even slightly different from the norm.
Josh Lieb

2.
A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children's speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie. Children have been treated. as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.
Campbell, Beatrix

3.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

4.
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
Klee, Paul

5.
Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.
Jordan, June

6.
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Vaughan, Bill

7.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

8.
No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man's heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.
Taylor, Jeremy

9.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

10.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

11.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

12.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

13.
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.
Wilder, Thornton

14.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

15.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

16.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

17.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

18.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

19.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

20.
One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
Orwell, George

21.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben

22.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

23.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

24.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

25.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

26.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

27.
There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it --benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their good subjects and punishment to their bad ones, who are amused at the cleverness of children and annoyed by their stupidities.
Spolin, Viola

28.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

29.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

30.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

31.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

32.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

33.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

34.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

35.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

36.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

37.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

38.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

39.
You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.
Lois McMaster Bujold

40.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna

41.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

42.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

43.
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John

44.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

45.
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
Harrison, Jane

46.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

47.
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.

48.
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Polanski, Roman

49.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

50.
She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
